LIVE IPL! Bhuvneshwar guides Hyderabad to victory over Royals

In the end, Hyderabad canter to a convincing 32-run victory on a pitch which was not exactly which was not very easy for batting.

After being put into bat, Hyderabad finished on 134 for nine, which many felt was around 15-20 runs short.

But their bowlers led the fightback in great style and kept chipping away at the wickets. Bhuvneshwar struck in the first over of the innings with the wicket of Rahane and took three wickets in his final over to finish with splendid figures four for 14 in four overs, while Steyn claimed two for 31.

Irfan Pathan comes into the attack. Rajasthan are dealt another blow as Binny is run out for 12 as he attempts a tight second run but is caught short courtesy of a direct hit from Warner at deep midwicket.

Rajasthan are 79 for five in 14 overs, needing 56 from six overs for victory with five wickets in hand.

Rajasthan ensuring they do not lose any further wickets as both Smith and Binny are content to keep the scoreboard moving with ones and twos.

Mishra is unlucky not to have got the wicket of Binny, who looks to play the cut shot but gets an edge to be caught behind by wicketkeeper Ojha. To Mishra's shock umpire Nigel Llong has turned down the appeal as replays show that there is a sound as the ball passes the edge of the bat.

Mishra is unhappy with the decision and has a few words with Binny.

Rajasthan have scored just 29 runs from the last five overs to reach 73 for four in 13 overs, needing 62 runs from seven overs for victory.

Smith is batting on 16 from 22 balls, while Binny has made 11 from 18 balls and one of them will need to hit out in the next couple of overs to catch up with the asking rate.

Moises Henriques comes into the attack and he cripples Rajasthan further with the key wicket of Watson, who is caught behind for 11.

Rajasthan in trouble at 41 for four in the sixth over. But they still have some batting left with Steven Smith walking out to bat at No. 6. He gets off the mark with a single to fine leg while Stuart Binny defends the last ball.

Leg-spinner Karn Sharma comes into the attack. He gives away just three runs as Rajasthan reach 45 for four in eight overs before the strategic break is taken.

Dale Steyn to bowl the second over. Samson is beaten by one that move away and he gets a leading edge off the next trying to turn it on the leg side and it goes over mid-off for a four. He then edges the next ball to thirdman for a single before Nair nudges the last ball fine for another four.

Samson goes after Steyn in his next over, lofting him over long-off for a six. Nair then drives the fifth ball through the covers for a four but Steyn claims his wicket off the next delivery, having him caught behind for 12.

Another listless performance from the Hyderabad batsmen as they struggled to get going throughout their innings.

Dhawan sparkled at the start, hitting 33 from 20 balls but the rest of the batsmen caved in to the pressure from a disciplined bowling performance by the Rajasthan bowlers, especially in the middle overs.

Bhatia claimed three wickets (3 for 23), while Tambe took one for 21 as the two veterans never Sunrisers off the hook, bowling eight overs in tandem.

Watson was rewarded with a hat-trick, which was spread over two overs, the second by a Rajasthan bowler in the space of two matches. Pathan added some respectability to the total, hitting 21 not out from as many balls.

Hyderabad hit a total of 15 fours in their 20 overs, but failed to hit even a single six.

Forget boundaries, Hyderabad's batsmen Steyn and Pathan are even struggling to get the singles. They pick just four singles from the 18th over bowled by Faulkner, who has given just 13 runs in three overs.

Steyn brings some cheer to the SH camp as he cuts Richardson over point for a four. He picks a single from the fourth ball before Pathan is beaten as he tries a big shot but hits the next ball to long-on for one as seven come from that over.

Pathan lifts Faulkner over the off-side but fails to time it well and picks two runs. He is beaten off the next ball before he plays and misses at a wide delivery and the two batsmen decide to steal a bye. But wicketkeeper Samson is alert to the task and hits the stumps with a direct hit to run out Steyn for nine.

Faulkner then bowls an inswinging yorker to Amit Mishra, who misses the ball and it beats the keeper too for four byes.

Mishra is beaten off the next ball too and he tries to steal bye but his partner Pathan is not interested. Samson has a go at the stumps but misses and Faulkner has another go from the return and he fails to hit the stumps before Samson collects it and hits the stumps on the third attempt. And all this while, Mishra is looking back in anger at his partner Pathan, who turned down the single.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is beaten off the fifth ball and this time they take a bye.

Pathan finally manages to get the bat on the ball off the final delivery as he clobbers it over the bowler's head for a four.

Pathan finishes on 21 from as many balls as Hyderabad finish on 134 for nine in their 20 overs. They lost their way in the end, losing four wickets for 32 runs in the final five overs.

Bhatia continues his wicket ways as Ojha also falls by the way side. The slower ball moves away enough to beat Ojha's bat and bowl him for 17 as Hyderabad are left reeling at 89 for five in the 13th over.

Bhatia finishes with wonderful figures of three for 23 in four overs to leave Hyderabad in tatters in the middle overs.

Tambe gives away just four runs in his final over to finish with impressive figures of one for 21 in four overs.

The Bhatia-Tambe combo bowled eight overs in tandem, claiming four for 44 in eight overs.

The pressure finally pays off for Rajasthan. Rahul attempts a sweep against the slow medium pace of Bhatia but fails to make connection and is bowled for 18 from as many balls.

Tambe continues the good work by Rajasthan bowlers in the recent few overs. David Warner tries to break the shackles as he looks to slog sweep Tambe but miscues it on the leg side where it falls safely.

Hyderabad are 74 for two in 10 overs. They have slowed down considerably in the last five overs, scoring just 28 runs and losing two wickets in the process.

Finch looks to break free as he hits new bowler Rajat Bhatia over the leg side for a boundary. But he falls off the next ball attempting a similar shot, this time Ajinkya Rahane takes a stunning catch at deep midwicket diving forward.

Finch walks back for nine as Hyderabad are reduced to 55 for two in the seventh over.

Veteran leg spinner Pravin Tambe is brought into the attack. He makes a tidy start giving away just four singles as Rajasthan look to build up the pressure with some tight overs.

Kulkarni comes back and new batsman KL Rahul gets off the mark with a straight boundary past mid-on from the first delivery he faces. Two balls later, he plays another delightful shot through the covers for another four as nine runs come from the over.

James Faulkner comes into the attack. Finch misses a freebie as he fails to make connection to a ball pitched on his pads with the fine leg fielder inside the circle. He fails again with the glance off the fifth ball as Faulkner gives away just four runs in his first over.

Dhawal Kulkarni to bowl the second over. Dhawan punches the second ball through the covers for a boundary and then finds the gap behind point off the fifth ball for the same result as ten runs come from the second over.

Interestingly, seven out of the 22 players in today's match are from Australia.

All the four overseas players from Rajasthan's playing eleven are from Australia, while there are three Aussies in the Hyderabad team.

Kane Richardson opens the bowling for Rajasthan. Shikhar Dhawan inside edges the first ball but it goes past the stumps for a four but three balls later he hits it off the middle of the bat for another boundary as nine runs come from the first over.
